из цикла "Тяжёлые времена"

[zhsky]

Creativity not even thought of as significant or relevant to urban affairs or a particular stage of the cycle, say ideas generation or marketing; very basic creative activity; minimal self-consciousness about the issues amongst variety of actors in the city. No public discussion of creativity or innovation issues. Activity, if it exists, is submerged with no public sector encouragement. The city is not looking after its future, it may already be dying on its feet.
